Has Anyone lowered front only?

hello, 37s.
Maybe its stupid Question!!!!!!

well, My 37 has 20" and the front tire and fender gap!!! its ugly..
Rears are too wide , not be able to lower it now. I might change tires later then lower it.

Have anyone lowered front only?

Don't think anyone has done that, and don't think you'd want to do that.

how wide are the rears that u cant lower it? my old set of wheels were sticking out about an inch and the drop really helped and tucked the rear in. if u can take a pic of how far out its sticking out we might be able to help.

I think someone posted a thread about this a few weeks ago asking the same thing. I'm pretty sure as long as you just do something really mild in terms of the drop it should be fine and shouldnt hurt anything. There are plenty of people who bought Tanabe springs just to use the rears with their eibachs. I bet you could pic up a pair pretty cheap from someone. They are a real mild drop and should help close up the wheel gap with the 20's pretty good. I think they drop it like 1" in the front.

If you drop it and run some nice neg camber on there they may be able to tuck in and itll help. But we def need to see this. PICS!

does anyone know the difference in wheel gap between front and rear stock? and tanabe front i believe is .8 of a drop. ( i believe)
